6 weeks left!!!
Give this your best effort...
If you do not have a passing grade in a course, talk to your teacher.  ASK for credit recovery, extra credit, make-up work; in other words, do what it takes to get yourself a passing grade.  Let your teacher see you are endeavoring to make an effort.  See Ms. Carman or myself for extra help or direction in how to proceed.

Extra EOCT practice is being offered by many teachers on Saturdays.   ESOL 11th lit will be offered on an upcoming Saturday.  See me or the M2 edition online to get dates and times.
